Is it worth change my cpu and mbo?

Hello guys, in the advance sorry for my bad English, im from Croatia, so greetings from there

Anyway I have a older machine so lets get started !

Asrock h55m-le
I5 750 ( stock speed, never overclocked)
Xcilence cooler for my CPU
1x8 DDR 3 ( kingston hyperx blu)
SSD Ocz vertex 4 128 GB
For storage and games: WD Green 1TB
Xfx 7870 2 Gb
Corsair 500 W 80 +

I have a 390 € in my pocket so I will buy a i5 4670k + motherboard ( I dont know which motherboard yet) But the most IMPORTANT question Is it worth change my cpu and mbo? My computer is for surfing the web, youtube watching, and off course gaming. So what is your opinion, to buy or to spend almost 400€ to something else? ( not on computer) I appriciate it in the advance for anwer..

1x8 DDR3? Not exactly an ideal configuration. You should always have at least two sticks for dual channel memory.

I5 750 is still a decent chip, and you can overclock, so you might give that a try. Very little risk at this point since you can afford replacement hardware.

Yeah, but the guys in the Pc service give me single RAM, anyway what do you think to buy a new cpu and mbo? Is it worth?

That is subjective. Do you think anything you use your computer for would benefit from a faster CPU?

i5-750 still sits in the 3rd tier of gaming CPUs, so you aren't that far from the top. You will see an improvement, but only on CPU bound games and tasks.
